We’re Off to the Wind Rivers
See Ya for Backcountry Skiing Season
We’re off to the Wind River mountains in Wyoming, gear testing, fishing, peak bagging — you know the drill! I may blog a bit on the road but mostly we’ll be on vacation and away from Internet.
We’ll be starting our winter blog schedule at the end of this month, with posts nearly every day covering backcountry skiing adventure, gear, politics and tons more.
Thanks for all your support over the summer, please enjoy the backcountry skiing resources here at Wildsnow.com, and please explore our advertisers.
